Hi aue HI

Aotearoa - Stan Walker

Toia Mai Te Waka Nei

Tōia mai¹ te waka nei
Kūmea mai te waka nei
Ki te takotoranga i takoto ai
Tiriti² te mana motuhake³

Te tangi a te manu e⁴
Pīpī-wha-rau-roa⁵
Kūi! Kūi! Kūi!
Whitiwhiti ora!
Hui e, tāiki e.

Haul this canoe
drag the canoe up here
to its resting place;
the Treaty gives us our autonomy.

May the cry of the bird,
the shining cuckoo
- Quee! Quee! Quee! -
signal a change for the better.
Draw together, become intertwined!

Ka Pioioi

Ka pioioi¹ e
Tohu aroha haukāinga

E hoki mai rā
Kia kite atu i tō iwi e.
E rotarota² ana
E katakata ana mai rā.

Pūkana³ whetero⁴ mai
I te ihi⁵ ā ō mātua.⁶

Kia kite atu ano
I tō ataahua ai kanapa⁷
Pupuhi ai e te hau⁸
Kapohia āku roimata.

Ka pioioi he
tohu aroha haukāinga.⁹

This swaying dance
shows the love of your home-town people.

You've come back home,
to see your people.

There is gesturing and
laughing with joy at your return,

Eyes popping and tongues thrusting
from the energy of those performing.

I see again
your beauty gleaming there
caressed by the wind,
and my tears are snatched away.

This fluttering dance
shows your home-town people's love.

Purea Nei
